Yeah they keep using that line about being taken down, even though there has never been a lemmy instance taken down. We can also point out .ml as an example of shit not being taken down even though it’s quite literally calling for death of millions of people.
I just think .world mods are slightly right of center.
Fucking KiwiFarms has been running for years and years literally causing the death of multiple people. But if we say anything other than RIP on a post about Hitlers death it’s going to get the FBI involved to arrest Jordun or something ridiculous.
.world is peak shitlibism.
I would like to know more about kiwifarms?
I will say, I got banned from quokk.au for calling for the death of billionaires. 🤷♂️
It’s the alt-right hate harassment community. Not a place to ever visit.
No one person has ever been instanced banned from Quokk.au?
Oh… yeah no right-wing for me. It was news@ sorry
Oh that’s my sub, I certainly wouldn’t have banned you if that’s all it was and it was directed at billionaires. I hope someone shoots ‘em all.
Might have been one of the other mods? As we swapped to PieFed I can’t go back and see. Either way the ban wouldn’t exist at present due to the move, so you’re welcome to post again.
I dunno. Some cunt invited me over there saying I wouldn’t get banned for calling for action against rulers but then I got banned for it. I’m guessing it was some twat trying to get people banned. Flying Squid did that a lot before he went insane and killed himself. Joke’s on them cause I got a bot to make 1k alts so I never run out
